Alternating layers of chewy brownie and rich peanut butter, covered with dark chocolate ganache! I usually stuff myself on savory pizza pies and have no room for dessert pies. On this trip, I boxed up some pizza for a cold pizza breakfast the next morning so I could further indulge in this delight!

Helens Asian Kitchen is a favorite of Columbus foodies for this dish in particular - stir fried spicy cauliflower. The dish has the right amount of heat to elevate cauliflower from a side to a main course. Adding more to the mystique of this establishment, their recent relocation has placed them inside the confines of a former strip club. #Trovember
